Bush has done it again

[sdtPikachu]

Gotta agree with Angrist... with the exception of President Blair (another born again christian... see sig), almost everyone in the UK thinks Bush is an incompetent idiot.

"I am not sure why he wants to take on all of this terrorist thing by himself."

Maybe he thought it'd be good for his approval ratings...?
You can never eradicate terrorism. As long as the means exist, so will the ends.

"Texans these days..."

"If ignorance ever goes $40 a barrel, I want drilling right on that mans head"
--Jim Hightower, Texan agriculture minister, talking of Senator G W Bush's agricultural policies

Funny how history repeats itself, isn't it?

"I agree that he's doing stupid stuff, and I don't see why he has such a high approval rating... Oh wait, yeah I do, everybody has this "yay go america" mood, so it makes Bush so amazingly good when we attack back after such a major terrorist attack"

Hence the "Hitler" comparisons. See below.

"Then all of a sudden we're attacked and we're like "WOO HOO! GO AMERICA!" and then we attack and we're like "YAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Maybe that's why gekko calls all that patriotism fake (at least I think he called it fake) because it pops up when it's convenient or whatever you wanna say"

Yep, I think this is more or less the crux of the matter.

"sorry, folks. we don't have a dictatorship. i think it's sad that you compare bush to hitler. HITLER! he's not trying to annihilate an entire race, or take over the planet"

It'd be nice to think that. Bush has already fostered the notion "if you're not with us, you're against use", like the non-neutraklity Joeiss mentioned above. Bush isn't trying to eliminate a race? Then why does he use words like "crusade" in reference to islam? Why does he have such a thing about "bringing america together under god" (a statement which is illegal in america I believe). As for not trying to take over the plenet? Maybe not, but he's doing a damn good job of showing incredible preference to those companies and charities who folow the same relgion as him.
I'm not saying Bush IS Hitler, and neither is anyone else. There are an incredible number of parallels though.

"AMERICA BEING THE SUPERPOWER, we need to take steps to prevent terrorist actions in other nations as well as our own."

Maybe you could have started this 30 years ago by refusing to give money to the IRA who have killed several thousand in their time.

""Peace Talks" that we know are never going to work."

I'm glad you are so certain of this. Why bother asking them to surrender when you can just kill every last one of them? Cos as you so rightly say, peace never works, and we should just annihilate everything, and give all our money to the military, yeah?

"impressive liberalism in here though."

You say it like you think it's a bad thing...

"That's why I compared him to Hitler. After WWI, Germany was being screwed over. Hitler wasn't happy because they made all Germans look like ****. He turned his country around, told everyone how great Germans were. He preached nationalism, and that's what Bush is doing right now. In reality, he's not doing that great of job. But he'll tell you how great it is to be an American, and how the free world will conquer terrorism."

Happy now MiscX? It's refreshing to see someone who knows how Hitler got himself to be so bloody popular.

Very good post gekko.

"I thought you were the one that said 'Thank God for Hitler'. Why the sudden change?"

If I remember correctly, it was PureEvil and nwoChris... but I don't know.
Even if it was gekko, he seems to know his onions now.
